I don't think there is an S in IoT?..

  Right - the saying indicates that IoT stuff is well known for ignoring security.

      Where I work, the saying is, "The H in ABC stands for Happiness." (Also, "We're not happy until you're not happy.")

      It does work a lot better with verbal inflection.

      It did get me thinking - maybe there should be IoTS devices, where the S stands for Security. A commitment to updates for a certain amount of time, the source code in escrow to be released when updates/support ceases, probably other things I'm not thinking of.

        Seems like a fitting area for government regulation and certification. But in order for a government to even begin to consider the lack of security in IoT a problem, the adoption must ubiquitous. I.e. the devices (or the number of thereof) should pose enough a threat to public infrastructure (think botnets) to be subjected to regulation. Is there such an incentive in any country at the moment?
